Firing on 12 cylinders R but monitoring portfolio heat closely :-)
From best to worst
This entry caught me napping. In retrospect I should have pushed pending's out further to get a better short term momentum slope.
Good momentum across my universe but I am starting to take defensive action in pushing pending's further away to stagger future entries to manage heat. The highly correlated indices and some of the commodities such as the energies are getting ripe :-)

Sub-sector of CAD is nice. Since we are locked in profit on NZDCAD, I opened EUR CAD and nice move today. I don't open new CAD positions for example CAD CHF would be nice.

Dang! I need to risk 15% of my account to open short term SDC position in Orange Juice. Why Pepperstone cannot make microlots?

It seems monetary policy meeting of New Zealand's central bank weakened NZD and that means we probably will reenter NZD USD short, since nothing else is breaking out in NZD sub-sector.

Okay Mr. C. My journey via "process of elimination" against Diversification has begun as of today. I had to fix my EA to run multiple instances in a single account. I was up all night to get that taken care of so here we go....
Strategies: 1 thru 6 are the total 6 strategies that run individually on each account. #7 = Strategy 5 and 6 running in parallel in one account #8 = Strategy 1, 2,3, and 4 running in one account.
Starting capital = $1000 per strategy PerPositionRisk = 1.5% per Strategy (so 1.5/2=0.75% in #7 and 1.5/4=0.375% in #8 Exits - mostly automated with some manual intervention
AccountLeverage=400 Let's see how this journey progresses thru the rest of May .
Objective: ROMAD/MAR of 2.0+ within the individual strategies MaxDD is capped at 20% (partial exits but continue trading as long as AccountEquity() is greater than TotalAccountDeposits() Catastrophic DD (CloseAll and ShutDown) capped at 25% DD from MathMin (Peak Equity, TotalAccountDeposits) {image} {image}

Unrealised PL at 8.87% with heat at 6.27%. I now need to see that heat progressively dilute.
Still a little room to move in terms of heat but I am now aggressively staggering future pending entries......for as you all know in relation to those happy little large chappies from Japan.
Just when you think you are out.......
